6 Petite-Friendly Valentine’s Day Outfits from Kohl’s You’ll Love

Finding the perfect outfit when you are petite can sometimes feel like a part-time job. You want pieces that are festive and fun, but they also need to be scaled correctly so they don’t overwhelm a smaller frame.

Stephanie recently took a trip to Kohl’s to see what they had for Valentine’s Day, and I was so impressed! She found everything from cozy loungewear for a night in to sophisticated layers for a dinner out.

Grab a cup of coffee and let’s check out these six looks that prove you can be comfortable, festive, and perfectly put-together.

The Look: Sweet Hearts & Sharp Layers

If you’re petite and looking for a Valentine’s vibe that’s more “effortless chic” than “holiday costume,” you’re going to love this combo! The base is a navy sweater with red hearts that’s so soft you’ll never want to take it off, and because it’s a light-to-midweight knit, it’s perfect for layering without the bulk.

To pull the look together, throw on a red Puffer Vest, which hits right at the waist to keep your proportions balanced, and pair it with these amazing high-rise “Wildflower” jeans that are actually the perfect length for petite frames. Top it off with some classic brown Slip-On Loafers, and you’ve got a look that’s ready for a coffee date or a casual day at the office!
